Date:1/27/2013

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 27, 2013

A new Explant Preservation Order has been issued which applies to the thousands of DePuy Pinnacle hip lawsuits currently pending in a multidistrict litigation in U.S. District Court, Northern District of Texas, Bernstein Liebhard LLP reports. The Order, dated January 23, 2013, sets forth protocols for the preservation of DePuy Ultamet device components and tissue samples retrieved during revision surgery, including procedures for their initial receipt, decontamination, photography, and storage. (In re: DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. Pinnacle Hip Implant Products Liability Litigation - MDL No. 2244)

“This Order will ensure that the integrity of any evidence collected during DePuy Pinnacle revision surgeries is preserved. Such evidence can be vital to proving plaintiffs’ claims,” says Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationwide law firm representing clients allegedly injured as a result of metal-on-metal Pinnacle hip systems. Firm partner Jeffrey S. Grand serves on the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee in the federal DePuy Pinnacle litigation.
